Man jailed for injuring an intruder with catapult returns home after 4-years

A former Ghanaian security guard, Charles Ayisala who spent four years in prison for a petty crime was released on January 19, 2021.

According to a report by Crime Check TV Ghana, Ayisala was sentenced to 8 years imprisonment for injuring a toilet intruder with a catapult while on duty.

He was also given an option to pay a fine of six thousand cedis to the state and three thousand cedis to the victim.

The security guard was unable to afford the fine therefore he was sent to prison. Fortunately, he was released after a philanthropist paid his fine through CCF's Petty Offenders Project.

On his arrival at his home, he received a heartwarming welcome from his family in Nkawkaw in the Eastern Region.
